"The strengths start with the administration. I think the teachers do a good job of establishing a positive learning environment. And having just gotten back from Westminster Woods, I was really impressed at how good-natured the Westlake kids are. So I guess that means the school is strong at all those levels."Parent, WCS
"The education that my kids get is ten fold over other schools. The teachers are all so friendly and really have the kids' best interests in mind."Parent, WCS
"These are the best teachers and administrators I have seen. They all are concerned about students and work hard to help them succeed. The parent involvement is impressive, too."Parent, WCS
"Communication and value of parent volunteers. The many opportunities available for volunteering really help parents stay involved with the school and their child's education."Parent, WCS
"Staff are friendly and approachable. I love how the adults know each of the students. You can tell that the administration really cares about the well being and success of each student."Parent, WCS
"Excellent and motivated teachers and staff, small class sizes, differentiation of curriculum for each student, specialty classes, communication to parents, ease of ability to contact teachers and staff, parent involvement and volunteer opportunities, safety and respect for each student."Parent, WCS
"Everything. My daughter loves going to school, and her teachers do a great job keeping her challenged and focused on learning."Parent, WCS
"The enthusiasm of the staff! We have had new teachers the past two years and both have seemed well supported and excited to be here! It has made for an overall great experience."Parent, WCS
"The staff, hands down. The teachers are the strength of the school! Westlake has done a really good job at securing teachers who are passionate!"Parent, WCS
"It's cultural diversity and acceptance of everyone no matter their race, education level, etc."Parent, WCS

The Enchanted Cave 2
Delve into a strange cave with a seemingly endless supply of treasure, strategically choos
4.33 / 5.00 31,239 ViewsGhostbusters B.I.P.
COMPLETE edition of the interactive "choose next panel" comic
4.07 / 5.00 10,047 Views* For all of the frustrated ones: there's a video walkthrough thread at We Create Stuff > Portal: TFV's forum, and some community help. Good luck :)
We started working on this project a couple of months ago, and now, it is finally done. Lately we've been working on this project none stop, acknowledging if we release it after the real Portal - we fail, and our test will be terminated ( ;). So yes, the last piece of code of this game was programed just a couple of minutes ago. Don't worry - those minutes were on bugs!
Portal: The Flash Version includes over 40 challenging, portals thinking levels, which features almost every feature the real game does, in 2d - energy balls, cubes, turrets and even the famous crusher from the trailer. The game also includes a console to mess around with after finishing the game, or just being frustrated by thinking with portals (Commands are posted in our forums)
Left mouse button - launch a portal.
A W D - movement
Q - launch a blue portal.
E - launch a yellow portal.
R - Close both portals.
F - pick up an object.
~ - open up console (enable through the options)
O - quick quality adjust.
Esc/P - pause game.
Version history:
The game really is heavy on levels 30 and up. We did our best to optimize it, but if you still have a low frame rate simply change your quality and effect settings.
If you find any bugs, please report.
Quite puzzling. winning a piece of cake, that was kinda funny. lvl 37 was definitely the hardest of them all, the last ones after that werent too bad. I liked the style for sure. not sure what there would be to improve. maybe better instructions. like one screen with all of them rather than a tutorial. Good game.
Beat this and it inspired me to buy and download Portal from steam. Beat that too, but MAN were both games an adventure!
Flash portal is an absolutely amazing game, smooth gameplay, puzzling puzzles. (lol) Felt the need to write a review. Cuz hey, cool :D
I like to think that this game's simplicity is not just fun, but definitely very puzzling. The mechanics of the actual portals work really well; getting the right speed and timing- just plain fun. Mixing a platformer-type game and a puzzle interactive couldn't be better.
Having known that this is based off The Orange Box's game, I feel that this is still a very original and amazing game, and I'm postive loads of effort went into it. Just loads of fun.
good game but...
is it me?
or does the game not continue after 2 swords [armor game swords] shows up?
I played this for about 2 days from time to time, and now it doesn't work
Please Fix it

Recent reports have informed us that Rihanna may be under 24-hour health watch due to fatigue. If that's the case, we can certainly see evidence of it in these live performances, which feature some pretty flat vocals.
Is it just us, or does RiRi seem a little tired and worn out?

Sondra P from Santa Rosa, CA recommends this vacation rental
This was our 10th time coming to Sunriver so we've stayed in a number of houses. This one is a very nice home in a quiet neighborhood. It is light and airy, well furnished and decorated. The kitchen was adequately, not abundantly, supplied. We loved having 3 full baths. There is one major problem with the house: there is no window covering over the sliding glass door from the upstairs living area to the deck. The sun beats in all day long and the temps in the house get to 85. Since there is no A/C, there is no way to cool the house down. The fans just blow the hot air around. Other than that, we were very happy with our week in this house.
We will take a look at the sliding door.

a guest from Forest Grove, Oregon recommends this vacation rental
This is a nice home, with a very comfortable king bed in the master bedroom. The kitchen has plenty of pots, pans, bowls, and other utensils, a nice gas barbeque, a good hot tub, and a fantastic upper deck. There was also three good bikes in the garage, although we were afraid to try the "bicycle built for two". There was a set of plastic legos in the master closet, which kept the three year old in our party occupied.
Great to hear.

We have rented several house with Discover Sunriver and this is the first house with very little kitchen utensils. When I go away for the holidays, I don't want to pack roasting pans, blenders, hand mixers, serving bowls, etc.
We actually went out and checked to make sure the items were there and we found them! Some of the cabinets are deep and you just have to dig a little deeper!

a guest from Sacramento, CA does not recommend this vacation rental.
The House was not ready when we arrived. So we had to wait which was a little annoying since we drove from california. The trash was very very full outside and we couldnt empty our trash in it. They did come a few days later to empty. We have been going to sunriver for over 20 years. I can honestly say this was one of our least favorite houses we stayed at.
We guarantee check in at 4pm and if the home is ready to go we are happy to give you the keys early. We did have the home ready by 4 pm. Garbage is picked up twice a week in the summer. We appreciate you having stayed with us before. Next year we will be happy to find you a home which suits your needs better.

We very much enjoyed out stay at 5 Blue Goose. As partents to a one year old we appreciated the pack-n-play and the baby gate for the stairs. We would respectfully request a new mattress in the master bedroom though. It is quite saggy in the middle.
Update 7/6/13!!! The owners have purchased a new Beautyrest Westin Heavenly Bed-style king-sized mattress for the master bedroom!!!

Awesome house! Beautiful house, with a fully stocked kitchen. No need to bring anything. Beds were comfortable. Only thing we would suggest is the kitchen door handles should be replaced. They have very sharp points and can hurt your fingers and snag your clothes. Other than that, we would rent again.
UPdate 7/6/13!!! The owner replaced the kitchen knobs with round ones :)!!

We had a great time staying at #5 Blue Goose. It's a nice spacious home, with lots of windows and a nice open area behind the house. We enjoyed the master bedroom a lot, it's huge! With very big windows and nice big kingsize bed. We had a great time staying at #5 Blue Goose. It's a nice spacious home, with lots of windows and a nice open area behind the house. The hot tub was very big and nicely placed in-between some fences for all the privacy you'd expect when you are in a hot tub. We enjoyed the master bedroom a lot, it's huge! With very big windows and nice big kingsize bed. The master bathroom was a good size too. The bath was awesome, nice and deep and we loved the jets! The shower on the other hand wasn't that great... We think it's because of the shower head, but the water pressure was really weak. We used the downstairs shower every day of our stay, because that one was great!! (different shower head, lots of pressure!) The master bathroom could use a rug in front of the sinks, the tile gets really cold! The kitchen was very pleasant to work in. We made dinner for ourselves at the house every evening and it was a good sized kitchen! A lot of counter space, a big fridge and it was nice to have a gas stove! If there is one thing I would change it would be the door knobs on the kitchen cabinets. They are these small suns which are quite pointy. I pulled a couple threads out of my wool sweaters and a small thread came out of my jeans when I accidentally bumped into them. Overall: Great stay! Would definitely consider staying at the #5 Blue Goose again! Many thanks again! :)

We just stayed at #5 Blue Goose and had a wonderful time. We particularly enjoyed the upper deck in the evenings. The house was very clean; it was in a good location.

Although we LOVE our annual vacation to Sunriver, this house was not our favorite. It's a nice house, but not at all cozy. The wood floors are nice, but it would be nice if there were some nice area rugs...especially in the master. Cold floors in the morning = cold feet! The house has a wonderful deck, but the two neighbors behind are quite visible. Also, the only bathroom on the main living floor is in the master suite. The kitchen was nice and well stocked. We will not rent this house again but will be back to Sunriver next fall!
We are so glad you enjoyed your vacation here in Sunriver. This is a beautiful house in a wonderful location and sorry it didn't suit your needs. Next year just let us know your specific needs and we'll be sure to find you the perfect place!

This home was even better than the pictures. It was clean and was located on a quiet side street which is great if you have little ones. The upstairs living quarters with the very large master suite, was open and spacious. The downstairs was a perfect "kid" area, with a large room for a play area in the middle of the 2 bedrooms with full bathrooms. We spent most of our time at the house on the large upstairs deck, that had a view of the kids playing down below in the trees....perfect vacation home for a family. (If you are worried about stairs with little ones, it is a wood stair case, but does have a split landing.)
5 Blue Goose is a super three bedroom home.

a guest from Arcata, CA recommends this vacation rental
5 Blue Goose is a lovely home complete with a beautiful master and master bath, classy sunroom, hardwood floors upstairs, built-ins, granite counters, etc. Being super picky, it would have been nice to have a better stocked kitchen; the carpets downstairs had stains; a fan (for the 90 degree days) and a flashlight (for the thunderstorms) would be a great addition (but that's REALLY picky). Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would consider returning.
Thanks for taking the time to give your review. There is now a ceiling fan and a flashlight. Hope you do decide to come again. Discover Sunriver Vacation Rentals
We were extremely happy with our stay. This recently renovated house has been tastefully updated and was extremely clean. The TV room downstairs was always cool even if it was 95 degrees outside. We have stayed in many places in Sunriver over the years. We would rate this place near the top. Quite simply, for the price, it's a gem.
We apreciate the month you stay with us each year and we are glad you enjoyed your stay at 5 Blue Goose.

From the Publisher
"This first-rate survey should appeal to general as well as academic readers. The focus on irregular, internal, and asymmetric war, ranging from local insurgencies to imperial expeditions, is a welcome shift from the standard western-centric emphasis on campaigns and battles. The inclusion of such "out of area" conflicts as the War of the Pacific adds a valuable perspective. And the footnotes by themselves are worth the purchase price as a bibliography."Dennis Showalter, Colorado College
"Jeremy Black has given us a masterful overview of the period 1800-1914, not just for the West but for the world as a whole, analyzing the role of military power as an agent of change in history, and historical experience as an agent of change for armies and navies. Black considers the domestic significance of armed forces as well as their international role, using the concept of tasking to take a fresh approach to his topic."
Lawrence Sondhaus, University of Indianapolis
"Jeremy Black offers an alternative reading of military history, eschewing the linear teleology of most modernization theses in favour of explanations based on contingency and a multi-track approach placing western development alongside that elsewhere in the world. The result is a refreshingly clear, crisp and succinct overview of warfare from the end of the eighteenth century until the First World War."
Peter Wilson, University of Hull

Wednesday, July 23, 2014
When you're a little girl growing up, I think you always have an inkling in your head of the kind of mom you want to be. Most often, it's modeled after the tenderness and care from your own mother. As I begin to nest and prepare for this baby, I find myself yearning for nostalgia. It makes me sad that kids don't play outdoors as much or that parents who don't want to deal with whining or tantrums shove an iPad in their faces. I know my son or daughter is going to grow up so differently from the way I did merely because it's a different world. There are different challenges.
But, I think there is a universal thought that plagues every parent-to-be, regardless of who you are, where you live, the job you have...what if I completely and utterly suck at this?
This parenting thing? It's not easy. The weight of realizing that you are bringing home this totally impressionable blank slate is daunting. It makes me wonder how my own parents did it and how I ended up quasi-normal {or so I think}.
It's scary to think that the words you are saying, the choices you are making, the decisions you choose - they will all affect this tiny person. They will mold and shape who they are, their experiences in life, and their overall being. How could that *not* be intimidating?
So, for the sake of "owning it", here are some of the reasons why this is on my mind:
+ I have a wide berth of patience. Sometimes it's exponential and things really don't bother me, but other times, I feel like I have a hair of sanity separating me from losing it.
+ I don't think a lot of kids get enough discipline. It feels like {especially in the teaching world}, kids are allowed to get away with far too much when it comes to people they should be revering. I want my child/ren to respect us as their parents, but not fear us. I don't believe in full on spanking a child but I also won't be afraid to give them a decent swat on the behind if they are acting out.
+ I worry so much that my own body image issues will be projected and show up in my child's personality. I'm trying to be more mindful about loving myself and how it's more important to be healthy {not skinny} - but I'm not perfect. I think about how I felt in the earlier years about myself and I would never want that for anyone. The day my child thinks that they are fat will break my heart.
+ People get weirded out when I talk about how in our family, our child will come second. I fully believe that a happy child is the result of a happy family. If your child is the forefront and center of your whole universe, where does that leave your husband? Our marriage is the foundation of our family and if that begins to crack, then everything is in jeopardy. I hope that we can hold true to that and maintain the relationship that we have right now, today. I know it won't stay the same forever but I want it to evolve and grow instead of left untended.
+ I don't think it's right to tell your kids that they can be anything they want to be and that they are special. Kids are special in their own ways but as a whole, there are millions of people in this world. I think it's more realistic to tell kids to do what they want to do when they grow up as long as it means they will have a good life and be able to provide for themselves and eventually a family. That doesn't include getting a philosophy degree and couch surfing while looking for a job.
+ I worry about losing myself in the "mom" title. Before mom, I'm Britt. The girl who loves reality tv, Lime-a-rita's, smoking the occasional cigarette, and going out, dancing her face off, and then pounding a cheesy bread from Domino's. I don't want that girl to disappear.
+ Most of all, I just don't want my kid to hate me or think I am a total loser. I know both of those things will happen and someday I'll the most uncool person on the planet to them. I said some heinous things to my parents growing up and even though I've apologized, it sometimes doesn't feel like enough. I want to be strong enough to see those moments for what they are.
Link-up with Elise and share what you're owning up to.

I think everyone has this feeling. Some days you are going to lose it. And some days you are going to handle everything with poise and grace. It happens. I always try to just take a deep breathe and calm myself down. I know it's just going to get him all hyped up and I know the faster I get him chilled out, the faster I get wine. And I love me some wine.
The husband part was hard for me. That's no secret. We knew we wanted to make sure our marriage was a priority but it is SO hard to let it fall by the wayside. Just like some days you will suck as a Mom, some days you will suck as a wife.
But... for the most part, you will rock it. Those amazing moments will far outweigh the bad ones (although you won't nearly give yourself enough credit for it). You will be great! I promise! - July 23, 2014 at 10:35 AM

I so love this post because it is almost exactly how I feel and I don't even have children. I am going to be a stepmom to 33 lovely kids but I worry basically about the same things you mentioned here. And I think there is power in owning it and saying it out.

I love this and love hearing your perspective! I've shared to several friends that as much as I feel confident in my kiddo abilities...the mere thought of ALL decisions that revolve around bringing a kid into the words is overwhelming. Completely and utterly. Everyone has an opinion from the name to the baby monitor you should to to how you should raise it...and everything in between. Goodness!!! Thank you for sharing your heart! xx

Found you via the link up, but wanted to say I've thought through all of the above statements recently with my husband. No matter what though, I think if you've thought through raising kids this much you won't suck at it, and they'll probably be positively contributing members of society one day :)

If I were pregnant, I would feel absolutely every single one of those points. You are going to be a fantastic mom, I can tell.

I definitely don't know what you are feeling right now. I am sure at some point down the road I will, but I am also sure that this is normal for everyone to feel like this. I think your thoughts and ideas on parenting are spot on. You guys are going to be great parents! I know it!

It silently watched them. It. Watched them. Them. Them. Them. The faint sound of snarling echoed out from a place unknown. Why? Why did it have to be them? Them. Them.
The simple fact the two were within three feet of each other created a dark unpleasant feel. The boy smiled and the girl nodded as the two walked in the peaceful garden. It watched them as they spoke and laughed. It. Watched them. Them. Them. Them. In the peaceful garden. The peaceful garden. The familiar garden
But It could bear to watch the two no longer. No longer. No longer. It dropped from It's tree and stealthily ran from the upsetting place.
"so... He's the one..." It said as It left.
Miku looked up at the branch of her apple tree. Had she just seen something? No. Ridiculous. There was nothing there. A shadow at the most.
Miku smiled and quietly chuckled at herself. Was she still thinking of last night? Let it go, Miku... she said to herself in her mind. You'll probably never even see that guy again...
"Hm?" Miku turned and smiled at Len. "What is it?"
"You haven't answered my question, dear"
Miku tried not to shiver. Dear. It sounded so strange to her. Especially coming from this boy she has known for two days. "I'm sorry. What was it?"
"What sort of suit would you like me to wear at our wedding?" Len grinned.
"Oh..." Miku lowered her head. "A dark one with a tie, I suppose" she mumbled.
Len frowned and glared at Miku, then looked away. "Your answer is disappointing, upsetting, and disgusting!"
"I'm sorry" she gulped and looked up at Len with sad eyes.
Len smirked. He loved hearing that sad shaky tone in Miku's voice. It gave him a strong dominant feel.
"Oh, It's okay!" Len said as he grinned and pulled Miku close into a tight hug. "I can't stay mad at you, dear" he whispered in her ear.
Len blushed and silently smirked. He loved holding Miku this close. His hands ran slowly up and down her back as he pulled her closer.
"Len?" Miku said with a more firm tone.
Len blushed even more and quietly laughed. Her chest was so soft and plush against his.
"Len!" Miku must have caught onto Len's thoughts because she pulled away and crossed her arms over her chest as a massive blush burned her face.
"Hm?" Len quietly laughed and stepped closer to Miku.
"Gah! Right when I was beginning to respect you!" Miku screamed and slapped the smirking blonde boy in front of her. She then ran off, leaving the boy alone with a remaining faint smirk spread across his lips...
Rin sat in the dining room alone and sighed down at the tiny teacup in front of her. Now that Len was growing fond of Miku, he would not be spending much time with her. His own sister.
She stared down at the tea in her cup and saw her own face staring back at her. But something was different. A similar smiling face next to hers was not to be seen.
A tiny clear drop of water dropped into the tea cup, distorting the sad girl's face.
"Gah!" a clear ringing voice screamed.
Rin rose her head and looked up to find Miku running into the dining room. Miku then sat down in a chair and threw her head an arms onto the table.
"Miku? What's wrong, sweetie?" Rin asked as Miku began to sob. She placed a hand on Miku's shoulder to comfort her. "What's wrong?" she asked again.
"I miss him" Miku said with a sad shaky voice. Miku clawed at the table cloth and pulled it closer to her face to comfort her.
Rin frowned. It was terrible seeing her future sister (in law, that is) torn apart like this. "Who? Who do you miss?" she dared to ask.
"K..." Miku started, but never finished her answer.
Miku heard footsteps that were very similar to her father's. She rose her head and glanced into the hallway. As expected, Papa was walking by. He was obviously heading for his office.
"Miku? You haven't answered my question"
But Miku ignored Rin. She quickly stood up from her chair and ran to her papa. By the time she caught up with him, he was already in his office.
"Miku? Dear, what's wrong?" He asked as Miku hugged him tightly and sobbed in his chest.
"Why!?" Miku demanded.
"Why what?" Her father asked.
"Why him!?"
"Him! Len! Why!?"
Miku's papa froze for a few minutes and stared down at her. After a pause, he finally spoke. "Miku. We need this. We need your marriage"
"But why with him!?"
"His family is very wealthy, his father is an acquaintance of mine, and he's around your age"
Miku stared hard at her father for a few seconds. Did she dare tell him the truth? The truth that there was someone else she'd prefer to marry?
Yes. She dared tell him.
"Kaito is wealthy, his father is your best friend, he's around my age, and I'd much prefer him" she mumbled as she lowered her head.
Miku heard her papa sigh a heavy sigh. "I tried, Miku. I really did" her papa mumbled in response.
Miku looked up at her father with wide shocked eyes. "You did?" she asked.
"Yes. The second I saw how well you two were getting along and how quickly you were growing fond of each other, I spoke to his father about arranging a marriage between you two. The problem with betrothals is..." Miku's papa sighed again before continuing, "...both fathers must agree to it"
Miku gulped and looked down at the floor. So it wasn't her papa's fault.
"But believe me when I say I tried. Please believe me. Kaito was a very nice and charming boy, and I know he would've cared for you as well as any great husband"
Miku sighed and walked out of the office. Her papa tried and Kaito's father refused. This lowered her chances of seeing him again and marrying him even more. She slowly walked up the staircase in a slow gloomy matter. She took her time walking down the halls and staring at the floor beneath her. For how slow she was walking, she could have counted the cracks in each stone tile. But she didn't. Because her heart was getting more cracks in it as well, and she was busy counting those cracks instead. All the shattered pieces and that built up over the years. She walked into her bedroom and sat in the chair by her window. She looked up into the sky and stared at the beautiful clear blue color. Not a cloud in sight.
Hours have passed and it was now twilight. Miku lay in her bed and tried to sleep. But she did not cry this night. The thought of her papa begging Kaito's father to betroth his son to his daughter put her mind at ease. There was a chance. Even if it was small. Even if it never happened. It was still there, lingering in the past.
But although she was eased, she could not sleep. She tossed and turned, trying to get into a comfortable position. But no pose was comfortable for long.
Just then, the windows of her bedroom flew open. Wind blew and screamed through her bedroom as her curtains danced and twirled along with the rhythm of the wind's howling.
Miku sat up and stared at the window in awe. What opened it?
And as if to answer her question, a young man climbed through the window and instantly closed it behind him. It was the same young man from the night before. He wore the same black trench coat that brushed against his knees and the same large hat with the pointed brim that came over his face.
Miku gasped and stared at the stranger. She was not expecting him to come again. Why was he here?
The stranger turned and looked at Miku. He then smiled that same familiar smile.
"Wh-what? You're here again? Why?" Miku asked in a whisper.
The stranger grinned more and walked closer to Miku as he raised his right index finger to his lips, ordering her to be quiet.
Miku pouted with confusion. Just who was this young man? She still didn't know. She would've asked, but being quiet seemed so relevant.
The stranger walked up to Miku, then knelt by her bedside. He then gently took her head in his hands and pulled their faces close together.
Miku felt her face become hot again. It was obvious he was staring into her eyes. Just why was it that boys adored her eyes? They were nothing special.
The young man gently ran his thumb under Miku's lower eyelid as he continued staring at her. This made the heat on Miku's face worsen and become more intense.
The stranger must have understood Miku's embarrassment, because he released Miku's head from his hands and stood. He smiled and waved farewell before running towards the window. Just like the night before.
"Wait!" Miku shouted, a bit louder than she was expecting.
The stranger turned his head and looked back at Miku.
"Who are you? What's your name?" She asked, still curious about who this stranger was.
But the stranger only smirked and shook his head. "Tomorrow night" he whispered, barely audible. He was more mouthing the words than whispering them. He then leaped out the window, leaving Miku disappointed in his answer.
Miku did not bother going to her window and seeing if he was fine from the fall. She knew he landed safely. Somehow...
She then rested back down on her bed and closed her eyes, sending her into a deep slumber.
"As with any normal feeling of love, right now I'll be sure that you fall for it!" the boy screamed out in song as he laughed hysterically and walked through the garden in the dead cold night.
It watched him as he danced around singing this crazed tune. It knew who the young blonde boy was singing about, and it filled It with rage. Another faint sneer quietly echoed out.
The blonde boy continued singing and dancing about. The more the blonde sang about intoxication and trickery, the more It became enraged. So enraged. To the point where It could take it no longer. Would take it no longer.
Len snickered and continued singing this tune of his. He fumbled in his pocket and stroked the cold glass bottle. Oh how he wished he could use it now. No. Not now. He must wait. Wait for the perfect time.
Instead, he went on singing and prancing. Oh how he felt so proud and intelligent. He felt sly and dominant. He couldn't wait for these emotions to take off and soar even higher. But he would have to wait.
Len walked up to the apple tree and looked up at it. The red fruit that hung from it looked delicious. No one is looking. I suppose I could take just one... Len thought and smirked to himself.
Just then, a cold sharp object was pressed against the back of his neck. Len gasped and widened his eyes.
The sharp blade lowered to the center of his back as Len trembled with fear. Who was this? Who would dare have the nerve to attack him?
Len turned his head and glanced behind him. He saw two bright blue eyes staring at him and causing him to gasp. The sharp piercing of the stare was intense. Or perhaps the sharp piercing was coming from his back, where a cold blade pierced through his silk white suit and through his skin.
Len screamed and fell to the cold wet ground beneath him as everything went dark as his body became numb.
"Even with a few shallow holes...
I won't leave behind any trace..."

The Server Certificates service can create certificates for eDirectory services to use when you install the operating system. In addition, custom certificates can be created after the install by using Novell iManager or command line commands.
In a NetWare cluster, you might have copied the Server Certificate objects to all nodes in the cluster using backup and restore functions for Server Certificate objects. This functionality is also available for OES clusters. You can use the backup and restore feature for Server Certificate objects to duplicate the object's keying material from one node on the cluster to all nodes.
For information about setting up server certificates in a Novell Cluster Services cluster, see the following sections of the NetIQ Certificate Server Administration Guide:
For NetWare, all applications are integrated with eDirectory. This allows applications to automatically use the server certificates created by Certificate Server directly from eDirectory. However, for OES, many native Linux applications (such as Apache and Tomcat) are not integrated with eDirectory and therefore, cannot automatically use the certificates created by Certificate Server directly from eDirectory. By default, these services use the self-signed common server certificate created by YaST:
Certificate file: /etc/ssl/servercerts/servercert.pem
Key file: /etc/ssl/servercerts/serverkey.pem
Self-signed certificates provide minimal security and limited trust, and are not in compliance with the X.509 requirements as specified in RFC 2459 and RFC 3280. We recommend that you use eDirectory certificates instead.
NetIQ Certificate Server offers an install option for eDirectory called
. It is selected by default. It automatically replaces the existing server certificate and key files (YaST or third-party) with an eDirectory server certificate and key files. It exports the default eDirectory certificate and its key pair to the local file system in the following files:Certificate file: /etc/ssl/servercerts/eDircert.pem
Key file: /etc/ssl/servercerts/eDirkey.pem

Targeted trainers to plough on in South
Even after witnessing their colleagues being gunned down, farmers from the Central Plains are determined to defy danger and continue their efforts to restore rice-growing in the troubled region
- Published: 10 Feb 2013 at 00.00 | Viewed: 3,943 | Comments: 11
- Newspaper section: News
- Writer: Chaiyot Yongcharoenchai
The Central Plains farmers who survived last weekend's fatal attack on their convoy in Pattani have vowed to continue their work to restore rice-growing in the South, saying their two slain colleagues would have wanted them to complete the job.
Saneh Khunnen, 28, and Ekkarin Homchoey, 26, were killed and 11 others injured when gunmen opened fire on them late on Friday evening in Yaring district's tambon Bo Loy.
They were part of a team of 20 farmers from Sing Buri and Suphan Buri provinces taking part in a project funded by the Southern Border Provinces Administrative Centre (SBPAC) to educate locals on restoring rice farming in abandoned southern fields. All the participants had been recruited from Suphan Buri's Buffalo Village, a renowned rice-growing centre.

Internal use of horse chestnut seed extracts standardized for aescin at recommended amounts is generally safe. However, in rare cases oral intake of horse chestnut may cause itching, nausea, and upset stomach.22 Based on reports of worsening kidney function in people with kidney disease who received intravenous aescin, horse chestnut should be avoided by anyone with kidney disease.23, 24 People with liver disease should also avoid the use of horse chestnut. There are no known reasons to avoid horse chestnut during pregnancy.25 Topically, horse chestnut has been associated with rare cases of allergic skin reactions. Circulation disorders and trauma associated with swelling may be the sign of a serious condition. Therefore, a healthcare professional should be consulted before self-treating with horse chestnut.

Friends and Family are Primary Sources of Abused Prescription Drugs
One year ago, the Administration released Epidemic: Responding to America's Prescription Drug Abuse Crisis, a national framework for reducing prescription drug abuse and diversion. This plan outlined action in four major areas to reduce prescription drug abuse:
- Education: supporting education for patients and healthcare providers;
- Tracking and monitoring: supporting the expansion of state-based prescription drug monitoring programs;
- Proper disposal: recommending more convenient and environmentally responsible disposal methods to remove unused medications from the home;
- Enforcement: reducing the prevalence of "pill mills" and "doctor shopping" through enforcement efforts.
Today, ONDCP released new data analysis revealing that the majority of first-time or occasional prescription drug abusers are most likely to get their drugs from a friend or family member-- for free, or without permission 1. Prescription drugs are the second-most abused category of drugs in the United States, following marijuana. When taken as directed for legitimate medical purposes, prescription drugs are safe and effective. However, they are just as dangerous and deadly as illegal drugs when used for non-medical reasons. This new analysis found that:
- Among new abusers of pain relievers (those who began misuse of pain relievers in the past year), 68 percent obtained the pills from a friend or relative for free or took them without asking, 17 percent got them through prescription by one or more doctors, and 9 percent purchased them from a friend, dealer, or the Internet.
- Among occasional abusers of pain relievers (less than once a week on average in the past year), 66 percent obtained the pills from a friend or relative for free or took them without asking, 17 percent got them through prescription from one or more doctors, and 13 percent purchased them from a friend or relative, dealer, or the Internet.
- Among chronic abusers of pain relievers, 41 percent obtained the pills from a friend or relative for free or without asking, 26 percent got them through prescription from one or more doctors, and 28 percent purchased them from a friend or relative, dealer, or the Internet.
These findings underscore the importance of one of the core elements of the Administration's prescription drug abuse prevention plan: the proper disposal of unused medications. To help Americans dispose of any unneeded medications in their homes, the Drug Enforcement Administration will host its fourth National Take Back Day on Saturday, April 28th, at over 5,000 collection sites across the United States.
Last October, Americans disposed of 377,080 pounds—188.5 tons—of prescription drugs at over 5,300 sites operated by the DEA and nearly 4,000 state and local law enforcement partners. In its three previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners took in almost a million pounds—nearly 500 tons—of pills.
To find a collection site near you, visit the DEA's site locator online. Additionally, the FDA provides guidelines on how consumers can properly dispose of unused medicines on their own here.

"I have not heard of Quinoa before, but after I discover it, I fell in love with this unique grain. High in protein and fiber and it is very tasty! This recipe uses regular sugar or you can make it sugar free, by using xylitol. If you have not heard of xylitol (Xylitol is not only a safe, natural sweetener without the bad side-effects of sugar and artificial substitutes, it's also good for your teeth, stabilizes insulin and hormone levels, and promotes good health. I get my xylitol at Ebay or your favorite health store. The quinoa makes a wonderful moist bread, loads of flavor. I find the best bananas to use are the nice and ripe ones! IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please do not give your pets anything made with xylitol. It is good for people, but toxic for animals."
Serving Size: 1 (1113 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 1
"So far, so good! I have very picky two year old twins, who like banana bread, so I'm giving this a whirl to try to get some more whole grains in them. I kept to the recipe with the following modifications: 1/3 c. brown sugar 1/3 c. white sugar (I like the moistness), added 1 tsp. vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp. almond extract. And, I couldn't tell if you meant 2/3 c. cooked quinoa or 2/3. dry, cooked, so I added 1 1/3 c. cooked quinoa just to make sure. (Figuring the dry would double in volume as it cooked.) Seems to be good. I also omitted the nuts. I just put the loaf in the oven and I'm pretty excited! Thanks for a keeper."
"This was delicious! First time I have cooked/baked with quinoa. I doubled the recipe, added sugar free applesauce to equal 4-1/2 cups of mashed banana, as I didn't have quite enough ripe bananas. Also added 1 cup of dried cranberries as suggested in an earlier review, and 1 cup of toasted walnuts. I used a blend of splenda/splenda blend, xylitol and sugar to equal the 1-1/3 c of sweetener to double the recipe. The bread was nice and sweet. Made 3 standard loaves, that all rose evenly when baked 45-50 mins. @350. Moist and delicious. On to the freezer with two of them! Thanks!"
"This is the first time I have ever baked with quinoa and it was so easy! I made this recipe wheat/gluten free by omitting the wheat flour and replacing it with quinoa flour. I did not have enough bananas and had nothing else to add to make up for it. I have just taken them out of the oven and tasted them and they taste pretty good. It definitely needs that extra mashed banana is my version bit that's obly because I was short of it originally. Maybe next time ill swap the quinoa grains for chia and add extra banana or some other fruit for more flavour. Definitely a keeper though as it seems you can change the variations here and there, thanks so much for posting! :-)"
"This was phenomenal! Very moist and lovely, it is absolutely my new favourite banana bread :) Thanks for posting!"
"I made these egg-free by using flax seed and water in place of the eggs. I also made the recipe into 12 large muffins. It was delicious. You cannot tell that they are whole wheat & quinoa. This is going to replace my stand-by banana muffin recipe (white flour) from now on."
"We enjoy quinoa and I try to use it often. This bread was nice, but did not slice very well and cooking time was much longer than stated."
"Very good!!!!! I used about 1/4 cup of regular white sugar but it was so good. :) Thanks for the awesome recipe."
"This was delicious! I am always looking for recipes using quinoa, so I was thrilled to find this one. The loaf turned out very moist with a wonderful flavor. I did add 1/2 tsp. banana extract to the batter (I do this anytime I make banana bread). Also, I baked it in a cast iron loaf pan. The recipe did not state how long to bake, so I baked the loaf until it tested done (1 hour & 15 minutes). My family really enjoyed this and I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for sharing!"
"I just made these in muffin tins and they are delicious! My husband loves them (I did not tell him they were made w/ quinoa or whole wheat flour until he had tried them because that kind of thing might have put him off). They only took 25 minutes in the muffin pan before they were golden-brown and ready. Substitutions: I only had 3 bananas so I threw in a ripe nectarine too. Also, I didn't have very much white sugar so I added brown sugar and date sugar to bring it up to 2/3 of a cup. "
"All I can say about this recipe is WOW! I'm not really fond of banana bread, so I really made this for the family. I figured I needed to taste it, and was so happy with it. The quinoa and the whole wheat flour gives it an extra-nutty taste. It was not too sweet and not to banana-y. I omitted the extra egg-yolk, and was a little short on the bananas; and used butter-flavored crisco rather than butter....trying to cut cholesterol a bit. This took quite a long time to bake. I lost track of time, but I kept checking and baking 5-10 more minutes..I must have done that enough times to get my back time to around 60 minutes maybe. I'm not sure, I lost track. I'm so happy with this recipe, and am thrilled that you posted it."

Sept. 22, 2011: No Intent To Transform HP
New HP Executive Chairman Lane, who took a more prominent role overseeing the computer giant with a $10.6 million pay package as part of the HP CEO changing of the guard, asserted that HP's acquisition of Autonomy did not mean the board of directors was intent on "transforming" HP. "With Autonomy's enormous success and enormous profitability and synergies we can gain, we think we can build a helluva business out of it," he said. "But it has nothing to do with transforming."

Scientific research has concluded that the human brain is developing until about the age of 25. For young people who experience the disease of addiction before the age of 25, it is critical they receive help early before there are serious, lifelong consequences to their development. This episode will examine environmental and/or biological factors that can lead to addiction, how drugs and alcohol can affect a youth's development, and the role of modern technology (e.g., social networking, texting) options available to adolescents and young people receiving treatment and recovery services. Some of those services are in-person; others are using new technologies and social networking. This episode will highlight available supports such as recovery high schools and colleges and other educational supports for young people in recovery; and discuss other support networks available such to youth such as family, faith and community to help them live healthy and productive lives in long-term recovery.

Men don't want to (and often will not) come over to you and your girlfriends when you're huddled together in a group. And especially will not if there are some male friends lingering around the group as well – (How are men supposed to know if those guys are your boyfriends, husbands, or what??)
The risk of rejection is very high for them in those situations and over the years they've built up a resistance toward walking over to you and your girlfriends, especially when the guy is solo. So when you see a guy you like, you must be able to break away from your friends and give him that chance to come over to you.
It's kind of like code for "okay, I'm making it easier for you, come get me now." So when you're out with your friends, family, or whatever… find a reason to move about the venue ALONE.
3. Make good Eye Contact!
This is SO important. How is a guy to come over to you or even be motivated to want to, if you're not even making eye contact with him!
When you notice a guy looking at you, look back at him. Make eye contact with him and hold his gaze for a second. Then look away for a few seconds, and look at him again. Do NOT look away or look down when you see a guy is looking at you (unless you're totally uninterested in him).
Do not get flustered or embarrassed if a guy is looking at you. Confidently hold his gaze, and look back at him. And as you're doing so, it helps to visualize yourself shooting a surge of positive, sexy energy from your eyes to his; Like a beam of light.
Thinking this will actually do just that, and you'll be exuding a positive, sexy energy and a sparkle in your eyes that will lure him to come and talk to you. Practice this visualization. It works.
